Civil War Washington examines the U.S. national capital from multiple perspectives as a case study of social, political, cultural, and medical/scientific transitions provoked or accelerated by the Civil War. The project draws on the methods of many fields—literary studies, history, geography, computer-aided mapping—to create a digital resource that chronicles the war's impact on the city. Troops, fugitive slaves, bureaucrats, prostitutes, actors, authors, doctors, and laborers were among those drawn to the capital by a sense of duty, desperation, or adventure. Drawing on material ranging from census records to literary texts and from forgotten individuals to the famous (such as Abraham Lincoln and Walt Whitman) the site examines how Washington changed from a sleepy southern town to the symbolic center of the Union and nation. In other words, it would help teachers introduce students to the concept of change over time as well as providing specific information about one city between 1860 and 1865.

This piece from ESPN The Magazine discusses the impacts of Title IX by illustrating the plight of female Yale rowers who protested their discrimation. Here is their protest statement: ״These are the bodies Yale is exploiting. We have come here today to make clear how unprotected we are, to show graphically what we are being exposed to ... On a day like today, the rain freezes on our skin. Then we sit on a bus for half an hour as the ice melts into our sweats to meet the sweat that has soaked our clothes underneath ... No effective action has been taken and no matter what we hear, it doesn't make these bodies warmer, or dryer, or less prone to sickness ... We are not just healthy young things in blue and white uniforms who perform feats of strength for Yale in the nice spring weather; we are not just statistics on your win column. We're human and being treated as less than such״.

This online article from "The New Yorker" magazine discusses the impacts of globalization upon basketball culture. The author, Sam Riches, argues that sports are a vehicle for nationalism particularly for those in the United States. Yet the sport, he claims, is distinctive from other US sport counterparts like baseball and football. Basketball can also be sold as a global game. Cricket remains the definitive bat-and-ball sport of Europe and India, which makes it hard for baseball to gain traction there. American football must compete with sports like rugby and soccer. Basketball falls into its own category; there is no game quite like it and thus this sport has become globalized like no other US sport.

This portion of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's website is dedicated to educational simulations, case studies, and interactive models that are focused toward teaching the basics of epidemiological principles and practices. There are three different types of case studies available: classroom models, computer-based case studies, and outbreak simulations. Utilization of these resources will give a broader understanding of the application of epidemiology in real-world situations.
